“Working at McDonald’s was my first and only job in fast food. When working the grill, it was so hot and miserable, I would drip sweat right onto the meat — I couldn’t help it. When I worked at the station that dressed the buns, I would have to reach into huge tubs of pickles with my bare hands. I wasn’t required to wash my hands before or after doing this. When I worked the fry station, we were taught how to manipulate the red box for the large fries so it looked like it contained more fries than it actually did. I worked there SO long ago that we made the shakes — they weren’t ‘ready-serve.’ We would squeeze the paper cups so more air would enter the shake faster, thus ‘fluffing up’ the shake faster.”
“Also, I’m so old that when I worked there, everything was manual. We had to add up the orders manually. Who knows how many addition errors I made in the rush to get a customer served. Oh, last but not least, the fish filet sandwich only got HALF a slice of cheese — HALF!!!”
